Honestly, sometimes eating too much junk or sudden diet changes can mess up our dates. I remember my period was late once just because I went on a crazy spicy food binge! But if you are worried, check with a doctor.

Gentle postpartum walking and yoga help a lot, but only start once your gynac gives you the green light after your 6-week checkup.

When I was trying to conceive, I also read so many strange tips online about eating alkaline foods for a boy. I felt so overwhelmed! But in the end, I realized both boys and girls are such beautiful blessings, and we just need a healthy baby.

I hoped my baby's position would change naturally but eventually had to go for a C-section. Sometimes medical intervention is necessary, so trust your doctor's plan.

Sweetheart, boy or girl, a child is a gift from God. There is absolutely no natural or sure shot way to choose the gender, and trying to do so is against the law here. Just eat healthy, stay happy, and welcome whatever blessing comes your way.
